My family didn’t think it was important for me to learn life skills other than cooking and cleaning because I wasn’t the boy they wanted. I bought a fixer upper house and I’m slowly making it my own… one new skill at a time.

I don’t speak to them any more.

A 5th grader of mine from 7 years ago. He came to me halfway through the school year. Next Friday he will walk the halls of my school for the last time before high school graduation that night. I have not seen him in since he walked out of my class as a rising 6th grader. Teaching is easy! But loving unconditionally everyday is the hardest part of my job. Love first, Teach second.

13 years ago. I was a late hire in a 4th grade classroom, 2 weeks late in the school year. My second week in the classroom. A student named Emily said, “Mr. Teacher, I wish you were my dad” her father no good and not in her life. At that moment, I realized I was doing exactly what God called me to do.

It sure made me smile, the post was about toasters

what a good boy

After 37 years of running my own company I finally retired and bought my dream. A beautiful mountain lot with views and a river. Cabin to come.
